If I recall correctly, the story is, he sang this at the Opry one night. Barely made it thru and as he walked off stage or maybe later on, Vince Gill (I think it was Vince) told him how much he loved the song. Craig told him that he was glad he enjoyed it because he was never going to sing it again. Vince told him that he HAD to because there were so many people that would be able to relate to and use this song as part of their healing process. He finally gave in and recorded it.

Blake Shelton tweeted and said in many interviews he'd gladly give up his spot on country radio and award shows for fans to push this song to #1 He & Craig are very good friends. Blake wants this song to be #1 . Craig did it live on the Grand Ol Opry that video will rip your heart out. The standing ovation was almost 5 minutes long.

The first time he sung it at the Grand Ole Opry he barely made it through it.

That is leaving it all on the field right there. Craig's son was 19. He and a buddy or two were up at the families getaway place on the lake. The day they were due to head back to town, they decided to have a little more time tubing and some kind of accident happened and the young man drowned. Craig (fairly recently I think) was doing a bit of life inventory and decided there was one thing he had left unfinished. He served 17 years in the army between active duty and reserves. He felt like he didn't complete his service since he didn't get his full 20. So on stage he came out in uniform and an army officer swore him back in to the army reserves. Quite a guy, and a talent.
@2nicnag26 ай бұрын
I had no idea about him wanting to finish his 20 years! I’ve always respected him as an artist, family man and faithful servant of Gods, but this adds even more respect I didn’t even know was possible! I knew he was a veteran but didnt realize he served 17 years. I’d be so happy if my son turned out like Craig.

If you can bare to search YT for his 1st EVER public performance of this song at the Grand Ole Opry, again it was his peers that persuaded him do to his, again, it’s a gut-wrencher 😢🇬🇧🇺🇸
